With its beautiful rolling hills, over 1,000 lakes, and easy access to Orlando attractions and amenities, it’s no surprise that Lake County FL is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, both for young families looking to start their future and retirees seeking out the Florida sun. They call it the Sunshine State for a reason, though–and trying to stay cool in Central Florida can be a full time job! More and more homeowners are turning to shade gardens to let Mother Nature help to cool their backyard. A shade garden can drop the temperature by around ten to fifteen degrees while becoming a focal point of your backyard, but without a fence to surround and support the garden, many shade gardens fail. If your searches for “fence company near me offering free estimates” are giving you heat exhaustion, see how Superior Fence & Rail of Lake County can take down the temperature!

The Fence Company Near Me With Free Estimates And Great Service

It can be hard to find a contractor for your home, especially one who stands behind their product and provides free estimates. The web searches for “fence company near me free estimates” turn up a confusing list of contractors who claim to be local (but have an out of town phone number), can’t give you information about financing or warrantees, and won’t provide a free estimate. It’s enough to make anyone give up out of frustration!

Superior Fence & Rail of Lake County is different. With a local sales team who understands Lake County and the knowledge to help you make the best choices for your home–not to mention estimates that are ALWAYS free–it’s no wonder that Superior Fence & Rail has over 25,000 5-star reviews from satisfied customers. 

It doesn’t hurt that Superior Fence & Rail also has the best quality product, fabricated in the USA, and installed by professionals with an industry best 98% on-time rating. That’s not something a random “fence company near me free estimates” outfit can promise!

Setting The Scene For Shade

The goal of a shade garden is simple: get something (natural, man-made, or a mixture of the two) in between the direct sun and where you want to sit comfortably. Typically, shade gardens trend towards the natural: mature trees with a full canopy that filters light to the ground below. Not every yard has mature trees or pre-existing shade from buildings or other structures though, and man-made shade from pergolas or awnings can be an excellent replacement. There are many guides for choosing shade-loving vegetation to plant in a shade garden. Vegetation helps keep ground temperature cooler!

So, how does a fence come into play? It’s simple. A fence gives any garden shape and structure, so immediately you can plan out how you want to add shade to your yard using a new fence as the perimeter. A tool like SunCalc can show you how the sun interacts with your yard at different times of day and different seasons to help you plan out the perfect spot to add shade. These high quality fence types from Superior Fence & Rail will beautifully frame a shade garden:

Vinyl Fences For Any Style Home

Vinyl fences are not only one of the most popular fence types Superior Fence & Rail offers, but with vertical heights ranging up to 8’, they make excellent backdrops for a shade garden. With easy cleaning and low maintenance, not to mention a lifetime transferrable warranty, vinyl is hard to beat. Check out Heartwood vinyl for the look of real wood but the performance of 100% virgin vinyl!

Transform Your Deck Or Patio

A shade garden doesn’t need to be removed from your house! If you have a smaller yard, or just enjoy spending time on your patio or deck, consider bringing the shade closer to you.  Adding a semi-privacy fence, with vertical or horizontal slats, in vinyl or wood, will add crucial shade to your attached living spaces while allowing the breeze to flow. Plant shade-loving flora in pots to add more moisture and natural cooling to your deck or patio garden as you turn the heat down!

Overhead Sun Protection

If you don’t have a natural tree canopy to provide shade, a little man-made canopy can do the job just as well. A pergola (custom built or pre-fabricated) installed along your new fenceline can be the perfect shade delivery device! Since your fence is already providing shade on one face, thread fabric through the pergola rafters to cool the ground below. Heavier fabric will create more shade, while lighter weaves give your shade garden an airy glow!
